Tom: Em
 

Em                     G              D
No one knows what it's like, to be the bad man, 
          C          A
to be the sad man, Behind Blue eyes. 
Em                     G          D
No one knows what it's like to be hated, 
      C                 A
To be fated, to telling only lies. 

{start_of_chorus}
       C  D                   G
But my dreams, they aren't as empty, 
      C          D        E
As my conscience seems to be
  Bm          C
I have hours, only lonely 
           D               A
My love is vengence that's never free

{end_of_chorus}
Em                      G                 D   
No one knows what it's like to feel these feelings
       C               A
Like I do, and I blame you.
Em                   G             D
No one bites back as hard on their anger, 
           C                      A
None of my pain and woe, can show through.

(Chorus)
D       Bm   A              E
When my fist clenches crack it open, 
Bm           G            D
before I use it and loose my cool. 
       Bm         A           E
When I smile tell me some bad news, 
         Bm        A          E
before I laugh and act like a fool
D        Bm      A        E
And if I swallow anything evil, 
Bm                G         D
stick your finger down my throat.
     Bm                 A      E
If I shiver please give me a blanket, 
        Bm          A         E
keep me warm let me wear your coat. 
Em                     G              D
No one knows what it's like, to be the bad man, 
          C          A
to be the sad man, Behind Blue eyes.
